Rating: Step counter

Macadam, The Step Counter.

gamed rating

The app promises coins for steps, but cashing out real money is nearly impossible: people save up for months and never reach the threshold, while the coins-per-step rate keeps getting cut. On top of that come frequent crashes within seconds of launch and a broken counter. As an honest pedometer it does not work.

About the rating

A classic walk-to-earn scheme: the five-star reviews are short and repetitive, while the detailed complaints describe being unable to withdraw money and constant reward cuts. The store rating is clearly inflated.

Strengths

What users love

  • The idea of gamified walking and reminders nudges people to move
  • And some enjoy the concept itself.
Weak spots

What users hate

  • Cashing out is unreachable
  • Step rewards get slashed again and again
  • The app crashes within seconds
  • Step accuracy is poor
  • And streaks get reset.

Who it is for

Almost no one. Those looking for a nudge to walk who don't count on real payouts.
